IHTM20601 | Life Policies: Countrywide (formerly Premium Life) Assurance Company policies: introduction

From HM Revenue & Customs · Inheritance Tax Manual

The Countrywide (formerly Premium Life) Assurance Company devised two schemes which were designed to avoid Capital Transfer Tax (CTT) and Inheritance Tax (IHT). They are known as

  • the Asset Protection Plan

  • the CTT or IHT Mitigation Plan.

These schemes differ from those referred to elsewhere in onwards, so they require different treatment.
